When science takes a little faith
Guan Un / 17th March 2005
I like this article from the New Scientist, ‘13 things that do not make sense’.
It can be a good reminder for me (of a non-scientific background), that in the ongoing fight for clarity in what many think of as the “war between faith and science”, that there are some things that science just takes by ‘faith’. For example, “Astronomical observations suggest that dark matter must make up about 90 per cent of the mass in the universe, yet we are astonishingly ignorant what that 90 per cent is.”
